I have no issue with Levi grabbing starts here and there in Buffalo when convenient. I don't think he should be going on any road trips. Assuming everybody is healthy all year he could grab 10-15 NHL starts without disrupting much. Reimer could grab another 15-20 which leaves UPL with 47-57 starts. He started 51 games last year, so it would be similar.

I think it’s weird how many posters are convinced Levi is headed to Rochester when every camp minute he has split the 1st-team game and practice reps 50/50 with UPL.
Meanwhile, Ruff talks about the need for 2 goalies and Reimer sits on the sidelines without a second of preseason action.
Explain to me why the Sabres have put their entire preseason focus on preparing their NHL roster except for the 2nd goalie spot.
I think people need to take a look at what’s actually been happening on the ice.

I am not convinced that Levi will go to Rochester.
I am not convinced that Reimer will get waived to Rochester, either.

I can and it horrifies me.
Honestly I would prefer Levi to get the starter roll in the AHL for this season. Get the bulk of the starts after Germany.

Adams has been asked about it and he said it was an option they were considering.
So, while I don't want them to carry 3 goalies, I am not going to be surprised if they do carry 3 goalies.
Three years ago, Jeremy Swayman started playing a decent amount of games in Boston after brief NHL action the year before. He was 22 years old and, obviously, was on the roster as well.
I liken the Sabres situation to that of the 21-22 Bruins. Levi is currently 22 years old, an up and comer with little NHL experience, though more than Swayman had, and UPL also on the roster and seemingly the #1.
Boston got it right. Both Swayman and Ullmark played and they let the cream rise to the top.
The Sabres, IMO, would be wise to do the same. I couldn’t care less about James Reimer.

Assuming that your goalies aren't going to get injured all year is foolish.

How many other teams actually have a good plan incase both their nhl goalies get injured? I am not well informed on other teams (or ours for that matter) but I would be surprised if a lot of other teams would be able to weather both goalies going down.
